612 or Cali?

[vonders]

Looking to get a 612 or Cali v1. I’ve driven a Cali before,
loved it and its dual nature. Felt like both a GT and sports car when pushing. Gearbox, Engine, Handling all excellent. Also liked the cabin.

Tempted by a 612. They are ageing well. Look stealth in black. V12 mystique.

Is the 612 a whole new ball game? Or too old to consider now?
16 year old car vs 10 year old car - quite a jump.

Narrowed down to these two due to budget and need for rear seats. I found the Cali rear seats usable just about for 2+1.

Would the v12 majesty make up for that? Last single clutch auto I used was a 997 tip. It was ok

Cheers for the heads up on the gearbox nuances. Will have to go test drive one see if I get on with it.

FF super tempting but need a few more years of depreciation

Lovely example. After checking their stock I’ve fallen in love with one of their cars - the dark blue 355 gts. Unbelievable

Good point. Sounds like the gearbox suits the 612. I think a well driven 2005ish black or TDF is the way to go looking at values. Does the roof have leather lining?

Anything that gets me out the house is a winner
